A well done twist, and very effective amount of horror for how short the game is. And super impressive for a first Ren'Py project - congrats on the submission!!

Developer

I loved the story, but the voice acting didn't match up with the screen for the last line. She was still taking when it went back to the main menu

Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback too. I appreciate it. I'll tighten that timing in an update.

Was AI used to create the menu image?

No the title image is a free stock photo of a girl holding a pumpkin. I edited it - added grain and a colour filter.

Oh gotcha, my bad!
